Usain Bolt of Jamaica celebrates after winning the men's 4 x 100m relay final on day 14 of the Rio 2016 Olympic Games at the Olympic Stadium on Aug. 19, 2016, in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Usain Bolt won what he called his final Olympic race, boxer Claressa Shields is trying for a U.S. record, and two women hit aces on the golf course. Memorable moments on Day 14 at the Rio Games — in case you missed them.

Bolt Gets Gold, AgainUsain Bolt won his third Rio gold medal in the 4x100 relay final as part of the Jamaican team Friday -- and his ninth Olympic gold medal overall. Bolt and Jamaica won the relay in Beijing and in London, where the team set the world and Olympic records.

Bolt had already won the gold in the 100 and 200 meters -- and both for the third time. He is the first runner to win those three events three straight times.

The United States team crossed the line third in the 4x100 but was disqualified for an early baton pass. That gave Canada the bronze medal. The USATF filed an appeal following the disqualification. A post on their Twitter account said they expect a decision Saturday.

American Women Win After Second ChanceThe U.S. women's 4x100 relay team was victorious Friday, giving Allyson Felix the fifth gold medal of her Olympic career — the most among women in track and field.

The gold in the relay came a day after the women qualified for the final by racing against the clock on an otherwise empty track. Earlier, Felix was jostled by another runner and had dropped the baton, but an appeal gave the American women another shot.

U.S. Boxer Tries for a Record U.S. middleweight boxer Claressa Shields — in a unanimous decision on Friday — moved a step closer to becoming the United States' first Olympian to win back-to-back boxing gold.

When the United States was knocked out of the competition by Sweden last week, goalkeeper Hope Solo called the team "a bunch of cowards," in reference to its conservative play. Her comment immediately drew criticism.

Lochte Apologizes for His BehaviorU.S. swimmer Ryan Lochte on Friday said he was sorry for his behavior in Rio de Janeiro last weekend when he and three teammates lied about having been robbed at gunpoint while returning to the Olympic Village from an early morning party.

In a posting on Instagram, Lochte said he wanted to apologize "for not being more careful and candid" in describing what happened after he and the others stopped a gas station to use a bathroom — and for taking the focus away from the athletes competing in the Olympics. He had returned to the United States before authorities said publicly that the men were lying.

But his apology was not without reservation. He said it was traumatic to have been out late with his friends in a foreign country — with a language barrier — and to have had a stranger point a gun at him and demand money to allow him to leave.

"But regardless of the behavior of anyone else that night, I should have been much more responsible in how I handled myself and for that am sorry," he said.

Brazilian authorities say that a gun was pointed at Lochte during a confrontation with security guards after the men vandalized a gas station and were told to pay for the damage. In a statement to police released on Friday, one of the others, Jack Conger, said that he and Lochte urinated behind the gas station, and that Lochte ripped a board from the side of the building.

Conger and Gunnar Bentz were taken off a plane and detained briefly in Brazil but have since returned to the United States. The fourth swimmer, James Feigen, was ordered to pay $10,800 to a charity before leaving Brazil.

Everyone in the PoolThe U.S. women’s water polo team won its second consecutive Olympic gold medal on Friday, crushing Italy 12-5.

The victory was likely especially sweet for the coach, Adam Kirkorian, who had to leave the Rio Games before the opening ceremony when his brother, Blake, died suddenly. He returned the day before the tournament began.
